Pizza fans in Lexington, KY, will soon get a new restaurant in town when popular fast-casual pizza brand Uncle Maddio’s Pizza opens later this year. Uncle Maddio’s has signed a franchise agreement to open three Lexington, Ky., area restaurants with franchisees and brothers Todd, Matt and Robb Sackett and Billy White. The new franchisees have sped up the opening process so Lexington pizza lovers can enjoy the restaurant by the holiday season this year. The restaurant will be located in the Chevy Chase neighborhood at 630 Euclid Ave.

No stranger to the restaurant industry, the Lexington franchise group already own 11 Jimmy Johns in Lexington area where they opened store number 75, 16 years ago and recently opened store number 3019.

“Uncle Maddio’s fits our requirements for getting in on the ground floor of an emerging brand and fast growing segment,” said Billy White, partner. “We did our due diligence on many of the fast casual pizza brands but once we ate the food and met the Uncle Maddio’s family, all bets were off. We love how they cook everything in house and how the vegetables are fresh and cut and diced in the restaurant. The restaurant will be a place to hang out with friends and family, enjoy great food, locally crafted beer, and have a good time. It will even be a perfect spot to tailgate before a game!”

The other two Uncle Maddio’s locations will be located in greater Lexington and are in the planning stages. The email address is maddiospizzalexky(at)gmail(dot)com.

“As we expand across the country, we are looking for experienced and successful restaurant operators like the team from Lexington,” said Matt Andrew, CEO of Uncle Maddio’s. “We know that they will knock it out of the park and make Lexington pizza lovers Uncle Maddio’s their favorite pizza place.”
